    Sorry, but I believe Wiley E. Coyote (Super Genius) and the ACME corporation have a patent on that.

  9. Re:Why replicate down to last detail? on Woz OK's Apple I Resurrection · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's practically impossible to design a hobbyist add-in card for the current PC architecture. PCI is fairly complicated.

    With the Apple bus and the original PC (and AT) bus, you could build one out of discrete logic on a breadboard.

    Which means that domestic possesion of strong crypto isn't just a First Amendment right, but also a Second Amendment right.

    IIRC, crypto isn't under ITAR any more, though, but under BXA controls instead.

    Yeah, but once you get past LEO the latencies are killer!

    Try playing Quake with the server on the moon! That's a 2.5 second round trip latency!

    Or for regular work telecommuting, the latency to mars is at best about 6 minutes round trip (round numbers: 35million/186000).

  14. Re:Gehman Is Absolutely Right on Separate Cargo and Personnel Missions for NASA? · · Score: 1

    Since the ISS is designed to accept cargo from the Shuttle's bay, I would create this new heavy-lift vehicle by launching the Shuttle without the Orbiter.
